[QUOTE="Techster, post: 393160, member: 360"] You're right, it is silly...so I'm not sure why you're trying to turn it into a silly discussion that misses the point. You're trying to make it into a discussion that's has nothing to do with my point. Let's talk about "several hundred years ago"... "Several hundred years ago" someone along our lineage wanted a better life for themselves and their family so they uprooted and came here. "Several hundred years ago" someone along our lineage either hopped on the boat and freely stepped foot on this soil without having to go through a million immigration hoops, or was let in because the existence of immigration hoops wasn't even a thought. "Several hundred years ago" the immigration lottery that let someone in our lineage over here amounted to being able to afford a ticket on the ship bringing hundreds of other "immigrants' to this country. That's my point. Most of us are here because we're lucky enough to have relatives from "several hundred" years ago who chose to come to a country that openly welcomed immigrants...that was built on the backs of immigrants. That's the irony I'm pointing out. I get it...this isn't "several hundred years ago" anymore, and the world has changed....A LOT. This country needs immigration laws to protect what generations before us have built, and to protect our citizens. But it doesn't mean the irony of how this country was founded, and how our representatives are now politicizing it isn't there. [/QUOTE]
